Cemetery; Lyrics: Torsten Schmidt, Graphic by Hagen Stüdemann

Cemetery

Yesterday I sat
on stones
And wrote
Remnants of sad
Verses on
My heart.

Admittedly, the text is difficult to read in this typographical implementation. But it's a poster, a graphic for the room. Not striking, but as an invitation for the eyes to linger, to puzzle, to always bring joy to the text, which does not come at a price when viewed superficially. This credo applies to most typographical posters of this cycle. The lyrics are by the poet and friend Torsten Schmidt. He is the only poet besides Tomas Tranströmer, for whose poems Stüdemann can always get excited because she is so incredibly precise with a vague but intensely experienced feeling, in a terse and logical form, in beauty and paradoxically also in beauty and paradoxically. zzling language.

Stüdemann received a stack of new poems from time to time by his writing friend. Of these, he chose several that were particularly close to him and inspired a graphic equivalent. With two posters, the path was exactly the other way around.
The drawing formed the basis for a text that followed ("Our Hearts," "The Crows"). Ten designs for the planned silkscreen edition were authorized by the poet. The printer and workshop master of the FAK Heiligendamm Olaf Anders supported the young graduate Hagen Stüdemann a second time by realizing this project. I would like to thank you again for that.

Contrary to the later way of working, the early works (about until 1998) were printed with exposed seven. The necessary films were made of black scissor cut paper on transparent paper, cut and glued by Stüdemann. The printer thus prepared the screens by exlighting them, followed by the washing out of the unexposed passages (surfaces that were covered by the positive film described above and do not harden in exposure). buy
